Procrastinating? Write about it!

As many of you know, I work full time in addition to my work as an ADHD Coach. Recently I was procrastinating on a project and was really stuck. I didn’t know where to start or how to get myself moving. I took the first step by talking it over with my coach Courtney Welch who helped me come up with a new strategy. I’m happy to tell you that it works! I started each work day writing about this project for 10 – 15 minutes. The only rule was that I couldn’t turn on my computer before writing. There was no structure to the writing; I just wrote about every aspect of the project, drew some pictures and made some charts. After about four days of writing, I had a breakthrough and I was actually able to start the project. Happily, I’m nearly done and think the end result is going to be excellent. Want to try this strategy to break through your procrastination? Use these questions as thought-starters: What is the aim of the project? What is the big picture? What are a few unanswered questions about the project? Let me know how it goes!

“My experience working with Laura Rolands as my Attention Coach has been extremely beneficial. She has offered me encouragement, support, feedback, and inspiration in a highly professional and ethical environment. While I originally began working with her to tighten up my business goals, I have seen progress in the social, academic, and personal areas of my life, as well, both in the tangibles of being accountable for the goals I set and in the intangibles, such as punctuality and deliberateness, two areas with which I have struggled for most of my life. I give her an A+ rating for her efforts on my behalf, as well as for the resources she has furnished. Anyone who retains Laura’s services can expect to see marked improvement in both quantity and quality of accomplishments; I highly recommend her.”
